Begin lightly stuffing. Don’t add too much stuffing or it will round it out too much and it won’t retain that signature popsicle shape.

I glued 2 mini popsicle sticks together and stuffed them inside the crochet popsicle stick for added support.

Cherry
With red, magic circle
Round 1: ch 1, sc 3 in the magic circle, pull the starting tail to close the circle. Fasten off and double knot the starting and ending tails to smoosh the stitches together.
Finishing
Use small pieces of colorful scrap yarn to add sprinkles to the frosting. Just put either end of a piece of yarn through two holes close to each other and double knot to secure. Tie the cherry on in the same way. Sew the frosting onto the top of the ghost. Insert the popsicle stick into the opening at the bottom of the ghost. Pull the ghost opening closed tightly around it and secure it in place with the yarn tails. Use hot glue to attach felt eyes and an oval for the mouth. Use small pieces of pink yarn to add blush marks.
